Nacho Fernandez has revealed his delight at scoring for Real Madrid in their 3-0 win over Espanyol.
The defender netted the team’s third goal in the second half at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday afternoon as Los Blancos put their two recent defeats behind them with a convincing display that saw them extend their lead at the top of the table to four points.
James Rodriguez and Gareth Bale were the other scorers on the day, with the only negative being the red card for Fabio Coentrao.
Nacho, who was assisted by Alvaro Arbeloa, told journalists afterwards: “I am really happy with my goal for Real Madrid and with the victory. I am very happy because it is important for people to show their love for you when playing at home”.
“We came here following two games in which we didn’t manage to play at our best, but generally speaking, we had a good game today. We go home with good feelings about our game on Thursday against Atlético.”
During the game, Ronaldo appeared to be annoyed with Gareth Bale for opting to shoot rather than pass to him. It was the second time this week that the pair appeared to disagree, with Bale being criticised for being too selfish against Valencia too.
When asked about the situation, Nacho said the forwards are great mates and people are reading too much into it.
“We cannot question Bale and Cristiano’s dedication to Madrid, and how they are great team mates. All of the players want to score, there is nothing more to it,” he stated.
When Fans show disrespect to players and make the player feel unwanted they will leave! I don’t think Majority of Fans would like to see Bale or Ronaldo leave, The fans vent frustration onlooking the Missed goal Bale can never be described as a greedy player nobody who follows him and Real Madrid football.
